This abstract painting features a striking composition of bold, geometric shapes and forms in a muted color palette of blues, reds, and neutrals. The artist employs a distinctive Cubist-inspired style, utilizing fragmented planes and angular shapes to create a sense of depth and dynamism within the two-dimensional frame.

The artwork likely reflects the artist's intention to explore the expressive potential of color, form, and composition within the modernist tradition. ...
Drawing on a self-invented visual language shaped by synesthesia—the perception of letters and numbers as colors—Matea Perrotta investigates themes of desire, duality, and the subconscious. Trained in classical painting and drawing, she transforms figurative subjects, often the female form, into biomorphic abstractions where curves, voids, and compressed spaces evoke vulnerability and strength. Her compositions balance masculine and feminine energies, using texture, color, and line to suggest a sensorial, bodily presence without direct representation. Perrotta’s work is informed by her immersion in diverse cultural contexts. In Morocco, she developed natural pigments from earth and minerals, translating her painted forms into hand‑woven, hand‑dyed textiles created in collaboration with local women. These functional rugs extend her paintings into tactile, everyday objects, challenging hierarchies between fine art and craft. Across the media, she treats abstraction as a coded language—part intimate confession, part universal symbol—through which emotion and memory are embedded in color relationships and material surfaces. Her paintings and textiles invite slow, physical engagement, prompting viewers to navigate a space between recognition and ambiguity, where form resists fixation and meaning is felt as much as it is seen. ...
